WASHINGTON—Congress and the Trump administration have agreed on overall spending levels and raising the U.S. government’s borrowing limit for two years, though negotiators are still working on how to offset the cost of the spending agreement, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Thursday.
Mr. Mnuchin, who is in France for the G7 finance ministers meeting, made the remarks on CNBC Thursday morning. He has been speaking regularly with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , who said on Wednesday that Congress and the administration...

( ah...but will they keep to it? )
Why on earth would this need to happen? Any deficit hawks left? 'Conservatives'? Hello? itsthedeficitstupid
Of course something both parties can agree on.. HOW TO SPEND OUR MONEY. That they are perfectly together on.
maggieNYT He was gonna lower it, that’s all he talked about!
The Democrats should have been working on a budget not trite things like labeling the president or holding Barry in contempt their little minds can not comprehend how to put importance on items and time tables.
Do you hear that? That is the sounds of unbridled debt crashing onto this country.
Sure why not. Credit is the only reason the economy is doing so good. Most Americans live on Credit.
MSNBC run this guy's contacts against the girls at Trump's Party In. 1992. Counterfeit Identix. Hot or counterfeit Paper. Maybe both.
Not what we need. What about a balanced budget. Do we not even do that anymore people. Good grief. Any thought as to paying down 22 trillion dollar debt anytime soon worthless Dimm House?
maggieNYT Moving the numbers around carsaleman
God bless America 😮
When will bankruptcy follow. So much for republican principals. GOP
Highest Deficit in History. The current GOP has been silent. senatemajldr McConnell who Whined incessantly at Obama's recovery spending plans, is hiding under his bed... silent. Not a word. Gave $$$Millions to the wealthy, and is now silent.
One day, kicking the can down the road on ever increasing spending, debt, and tax increases is going blow up in the faces of these politicians. Politicians not only need to lose their jobs, but they need to stand trial for their criminal irresponsibility.
maggieNYT could someone make sure this gets to Rand Paul
At full employment and a good economy So just what exactly is costing us so much money Mr. Stable Genius ? It's not infrastructure must be those weekly trips to Mara Lago .
Thank you treasurer secretary for all the hard work you do for our country the United States of America
maggieNYT Has anyone told Rand Paul?
What happened to that massive tax break that trump gave to the rich? surely you should be seeing so much more revenue that you do not need to increase borrowing?
$usd loses value daily with more supply, but bitcoin is the devil though...
maggieNYT Republicans forget what conservative means as soon as they get in power. Then, they somehow think it means free reign with the American taxpayer credit card.
maggieNYT BORROWING TO FAKE ECONOMIC SUCCESS.... oh so Republican. WHAT ABOUT THE BORROWING!!!
maggieNYT Hand over tRUMP’s taxes stevenmnuchin1
We claim, we have the best economy, but which other country runs deficit for that many years without any adverse consequences?
maggieNYT America is sinking into a hole that will take five generations to fill, if ever.
maggieNYT and adding AT LEAST another trillion dollars to the national debt THIS YEAR !! Our children will pay for trump their entire lives !! FakePresident RacistInChief LiarInChief
As of October 2018, foreigners owned $6.2 trillion of U.S. debt, or approximately 39 percent of the debt held by the public of $16.1 trillion and 28 percent of the total debt of $21.8 trillion.VoteThemOut!
...and barely a peep from those who were so vociferous and outraged when asked to contemplate such things just a few short years ago.
Why is it every Time Republican in the WH, USA goes in debt
maggieNYT Remember when Obama tried (and succeeded) to raise the debt ceiling to avoid credit defaults back during the recovery from the worst Recession ever, that Republicans helped cause and tried to block? Good times.
maggieNYT Where is the tea party? Or do they only come out to complain about the black president?
Wait, didn't Trump said that his tax cuts would have brought us so much wealth he would have reduced the debt in no time?
I'm no economist, but I don't understand how agreeing to owe increasingly large sums every year constitutes financial planning. I mean, I do that. :)
maggieNYT Damn... I was hoping someone would whisper the $20 trillion platinum coin idea in Trump's ear because he's crazy enough to do it.
Very conservative position here. Again, gop sells out any principles it once had.
Which means Trump will be blowing up the deal in, ten, nine, eight....
IFixedIt Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin says an agreement has been reached on spending levels and raising the Trump debt ceiling to account for the next two years of Trump’s admin overspending
maggieNYT Yes but has Trump?
Way to deal with this huge deficit TRUMP created
Idiots
